In addition to KUTV's online article, Casey Scott, co-host of "Fresh Living" on KUTV, speaks with Kim Campbell about "Glen Campbell I'll Be Me", Glen's diagnosis, the challenges for caregivers, the community where Glen is now living, and more (video).

Kim Campbell shares insight to the devastating journey she and her family have experienced before and after Glen's medical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease ~ as well as words of guidance and comfort for those of us on the same or similar path.

Mark your calendars, fans, if you live in the Powell, Tennessee area and would like to attend An Evening with Kim Campbell on September 15th.

From Morning Pointe Assisted Living:

'An Evening with Kim Campbell' - the wife of country music legend Glen Campbell will share her personal story of hope as an Alzheimer's caregiver. This free public awareness event, coming to the Knoxville, TN area on September 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Powell, is presented by the Morning Pointe Foundation.

Today I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Kim Campbell as the Keynote Speaker in St. Cloud, MN at the Seniors Expo. It was very exciting and I was fortunate enough to get her to sign the letter her and Glen have on the sleeve of Glens "See You There" Vinyl Record album! Plus I will be seeing Ashley Campbell perform at the MN State Fair in a week on August 27th.

Kim was recently a selected speaker at the Ideagen UN Empowering Women and Girls 2030 Summit held at the United Nations in New York City. Over 30 other speakers also participated in this global summit about which you can read here: https://events.bizzabo.com/201717" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Mouse over each image to view speakers' names/organizations.)

As a caregiver and as a wife who is losing her beloved husband to Alzheimer's disease, she must feel she has the world on her shoulders. So many of us are feeling this way, and the burden of worry for the future is a heavy one to bear. I admire Kim for participating in teaching events and continuing to share "lessons learned".

Members, would you like to share lessons you have learned as a caretaker that could help other people who participate on or read Glen Campbell Forums?

We are honored to have Glen Campbell’s family with us tonight. Their courage in 'going public' with Alzheimer's disease touches countless lives and brings much-needed awareness of the urgent need to understand this relentless disease and to fund research to find treatments and a cure.
